• 18TH C. AMERICAN IRON & WOOD AXES &
  18TH C. AMERICAN IRON & WOOD AXES & AXE HEAD (4)North America, United States, ca. 18th to 19th century CE. A collection of 4 iron axe heads, three with their wooden handles intact. The one without a handle is stamped with maker marks for the Collins Company (1826 to 1966) of Connecticut. The Collins company produced the first "ready to use" axes in the United States - before, local blacksmiths forged heads upon request, or they came from Europe, unground and requiring handles. The smallest head with a handle has a broad blade and cylindrical opening on the butt end, perhaps as a trade piece for Native Americans to use as a Tomahawk pipe. The next has a flared, notched blade they an ovoid socketing hole, hafted on a whittled branch, also perhaps a trading axe. The last has a lengthy blade and thick butt end - perhaps a naval boarding axe since the slender blade does not seem suited for heavy work. Size of naval axe: 15.75" L x 9.75" W (40 cm x 24.8 cm); Collins' head: 5" L x 3.25" W (12.7 cm x 8.3 cm) Provenance: private Burlington, North Carolina, USA collection; ex-A to Z Auctions; ex-James Pratley estate, Galveston, Texas, USA before 2000 All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
